Batman: Val Kilmer by ric Gustafson
Joel Schumacher was chosen to direct the third Batman film. Schumacher only had one actor in mind to play the Caped Crusader. That actor was Val Kilmer. Schumacher wanted a more family friendly film with less violence. Schumacher wanted a Caped Crusader who was a bona fide superhero. Val Kilmer fit the bill. Kilmer was taller, imposing and sexier than Keaton.
Kilmer had a reputation in Hollywood for being difficult. Kilmer had two children with Joanne Whalley whom he divorced in 1996. His big break was a film called ' Top Secret' in 1984. By the time he was cast as Batman, Kilmer was making $ 6 million a picture and dating some of the hottest women in entertainment. ' Batman Forever' starring Val Kilmer as the Caped Crusader was the second highest grossing film of 1995 behind ' Toy Story'.
